IPC releases book-to-bill ratios for June 2001
August 6, 2001 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC releases book-to-bill ratios for June 2001 IPC- Association Connecting Electronics Industries on July 24 announced that the U.S. Printed Wiring Board Industry Book-to-Bill Ratio for June 2001 was 0.74. Sales billed (shipments) in June 2001 decreased 31.9% from June 2000, and orders booked decreased 38.5% from June 2000.
Compared to 2000, bookings of PWBs are down 46.2% year-to-date, while shipments of PWBs are down 13.8% year-to-date. The ratio is calculated by averaging the number of orders booked over the past three months and dividing by the average sales billed during the same period.
The information is based on data provided by the 86 rigid and flexible PWB manufacturers participating in IPC's monthly Statistical Program. These companies represent over 40% of the US domestic printed wiring board market. IPC publishes the book-to-bill each month. (Statistics for the previous month are not available until the last week of the following month.) Historical PWB Book-to-Bill ratios are also posted on IPC's Web site, www.ipc.org.
IPC is a U.S.-based trade association dedicated to the competitive excellence and financial success of its nearly 2,800 member companies which represent all facets of the electronic interconnection industry, including design, printed wiring board manufacturing and electronics assembly. As a member-driven organization and leading source for industry standards, training, market research and public policy advocacy, IPC supports programs to meet the needs of a $44 billion US industry employing more than 400,000 people.
